Los Angeles RANT
Okay, not trying to ruffle any feathers for you City of Angels residents...
But... Your traffic SUCKS, your roads SUCK, and the drivers.... ... if the clowns in the faster lanes, would learn to accelerate, you would probably have less issues. I am sure you all probably agree with me. Hell, traffic in the DC area SUCKS. Visiting from the east coast, Washington DC area, and they say our traffic is worse... NOPE, NADA, WRONG. You guys get the award! Can't tell you what highways I was on, just following the GPS's instructions. The highways are so rough, I got so tired of hearing "tire-slap", My P-Zero's when cold are smoother than what I was experiencing in a freaking Corolla! No way an SS or a Vette can get better mileage on the highway than the side streets, the highways are NO FASTER! What a waste of a V-8, might as well put 4-bangers in everything out here, you can't use the other 4! Guys, I truly feel for you. Come on out east, experience our roads and traffic, and you can let me know how much DC Area traffic sucks! LAians, I saw some of you, I didn't bother waving to any of you, as I woulda looked like an idiot waving from a Corolla. :-) Enjoying my visit, seeing my kids, they both moved out here from Virginia. Seriously, I feel for you all, and wish you all the very best. Jim

I know, I know, me being here makes it worse.....
Do me a favor kick my kids out too, rather they be back east. :-) BUT, don't forget I am spending my money out here to fill the tax coffers!

"LA" is a pretty vast area...some more congested than others...a lot of older cities, newer cities...All different, all unique, all somewhat the same....Runs the whole gamut...A-Z...

Taxes are the same way all over. But anyone in office with a half of a brain, and it CAN be balanced. (just my opinion) Hell, out here in CA, pot is so easy to get legally, and get the scripts to do so... hell, legalize it and tax the hell out of it. If you are in the El Segundo area, I'll be looking for you as I am out and about. Jim

Jimbo, El Segundo and you're complaining?...lol...It's a very desirable city...Considering where it is, that's about as small town and isolated as you can get...Your kids did good...lol...

California has the highest taxes too haha. I personally could never live somewhere like that. New York is bad enough as it is. Can't wait to move to somewhere with warmer weather, lower taxes, better politics and open roads
